So for the first however-many seasons of this show I stayed far far away because it triggered all of my warning bells for things I hate - melodramatic vampire plots, actors who can't act, and tiresomly cyclical love triangles (also none of the guys looked hot. Yes am shallow). However, recently I've run out of romantic TV shows - I watch and love the more episodic ones, Castle, White Collar, Covert Affairs etc - but sometimes I'm just in the mood for a TV show that is mostly about romance/a teen show, and there's none to be had -I'm even all caught up on Pretty Little Liars, and let's face it, that show is much more about the mystery than the romance anyway. Also quite a few people do seem to love this show, though more on Tumblr than LJ.
Regardless, what do you think, o wise flist? For a quick summary of my taste as far as melodrama and cheese go: I enjoy/have enjoyed One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, Moonlight and Pretty Little Liars, BUT Gossip Girl and True Blood were too much for me.
